At four years old, Richard Wright set fire to his home in a moment of boredom; at five his father deserted the family; by six Richard was - temporarily - an alcoholic. Moved from home to home, from brick tenement to orphanage, a grandmother in Jackson, an aunt in Arkansas, he had had, by the age of twelve, only one year's formal education. It was in saloons, railroad yards, and streets that he learned the facts about life under white subjection, about fear, hunger, and hatred, while his mother's long illness taught him about suffering.

The same alertness and independence that made him the 'bad boy' of his family and the victim of endless beatings also lost him numerous jobs. Gradually he learned to play Jim Crow to survive in a world of white hostility, secretly satisfying his craving for books and knowledge until the time came when he could follow his dream of justice and opportunity in the north.
